Deleting a Power-On Password:
Use the Configuration/Setup Utility program
to delete a power-on password.
To delete a power-on password:
1. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program (see “Starting the
Configuration/Setup Utility Program” on page 34).
2. Select System Security from the Configuration/Setup Utility program menu.
3. Select Power-On Password.
4. Select Delete Power-On Password and follow the instructions on the screen.
5. Refer to “Exiting from the Configuration/Setup Utility Program” on page 37 for
instructions on saving your settings and exiting from the Configuration/Setup
Utility program.
Erasing a Lost or Forgotten Power-On Password:
If you have lost or
forgotten your power-on password, you must remove the computer cover and move
the CMOS Clear jumper (also referred to as the password jumper on the system
board) in order to erase the power-on password so that you can regain access to
your system.
See Installing Options in Your Personal Computer for instructions on removing the
computer cover and moving jumpers. Refer to the system board label inside the
computer cover for the location of the CMOS Clear (password) jumper.
Important
If you move the CMOS-clear jumper, the Configuration/Setup Utility program
will load the default settings. If you do not want to use the default settings, use
the Configuration/Setup Utility program to reconfigure the computer and to set
a new password.
Administrator Password
Setting an administrator password deters unauthorized persons from changing
settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. When an administrator
password is set, you can change settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program
only after typing the administrator password at the password prompt that appears
when you try to access the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
If you are responsible for maintaining the settings of several computers, you might
want to set an administrator password.
